RE: Thompson Park Hunt
how are the hunters doing at the park. I live in that area - see many large backs, including a nice 130 class 8p oint heading into the park by the resevour during the hunting days. I ususally hear of the big deer killed in this sector, and see them when they get hit by cars comin gout of the park on 520 - not hearing much this year.
It's usually the case where something gets opened up to hunt - people com eout of the woodwork to hunt, and the deer get blown out -
They should go with bowhunting only, and make it a 3-4 does per buck ratio. There are P&Y bucks in there - see them all fall long. One day of gun hunting and its over.
The state shuold BAck off all the doe days and muzzloader days in November as well. That is turning the bucks nocturnal in november. I am mainly a bowhunter and donet shot gun hunt much, so I would lean to bowhunting, but have many freinds who shotgun hunt, ans they donet see the bucks in gun season the last few years.
